Can you get head on your period? Yes, you can 100% receive oral sex while on your period—and not only is it safe and normal, it can actually feel amazing. But if you’ve ever wondered whether it’s gross, or if your partner will be weirded out, or if you’re allowed to enjoy this…you’re far from alone. So allow your sensual scholars to clear up the myths, ditch the shame, and give you approved period head tips to help you feel comfortable, confident, and fully in your pleasure during that time of the month🩸
Is It Normal to Get Oral Sex During Your Period?
Yes. Totally, completely normal. Despite the silence around it, receiving oral on your period is more common than you think. In fact, for many women, it can feel even better during menstruation because your cervix is lower, your pelvic floor is more sensitive, and blood flow is increased throughout your vulva which all adds up to intensified sensation and stronger orgasms. Yet thanks to cultural shame, sex taboos, and a general lack of honest education about menstruation and intimacy, a lot of people still tiptoe around the topic like it’s forbidden. It’s not. It’s just sex with a little extra context and grenadine 😈 Additionally, receiving oral sex on your period is completely safe, as long as you and your partner are both comfortable and informed. Menstrual blood is not toxic nor is it dirty. It’s simply blood and uterine lining shedding—nothing your body hasn’t handled a thousand times before. That said, if you or your partner have open cuts or STIs, it’s worth taking extra precautions (like using a dental dam). Otherwise? You're good to go. Dive into 5 period head tips to make oral sex on your 🩸 feel comfortable and sexy 👇
1. Pick a Position That Prioritizes You (and Manages the Flow)
One of the easiest ways to feel relaxed is to choose a position that gives you control and comfort. Here are a few period-friendly oral sex positions that minimize mess while maximizing sensation:
- Lying flat with hips elevated: Place a towel or dark blanket under your hips, then lie back with a pillow lifting your pelvis. This helps with blood flow and gives your partner better access to your vulva and clit. It also keeps things contained.
- Receiving oral on the edge of the bed: Lie on your back with your hips near the edge while your partner kneels or sits in front of you. Great for clitoral focus and gives you a chance to guide their hands or head while staying relaxed.
- Shower head: Want zero cleanup? Take it to the shower. Stand, sit on a ledge, or bend over slightly while your partner kneels. Hot water + tongue + no stress about blood = iconic period pleasure.
2. Use a Menstrual Cup for Mess-Free Oral Magic
A soft menstrual cup fits high in the vaginal canal and catches your flow. That means you can relax while your partner goes down on you without either of you worrying about visible blood. Many partners can’t even feel it’s there. It’s the low-key lifesaver every oral-loving girl needs in her period toolkit.
3. Start With a Shower to Reset the Mood
Whether it’s just you rinsing off or you’re stepping into a steamy, make-out-heavy cleanse with your partner, a shower before oral sets the tone. It removes sweat, blood, or body tension, and gets you both physically and emotionally in sync. You’ll feel fresher, more turned on, and way less self-conscious.
Bonus: hot water increases blood flow and sensitivity, which can enhance pleasure.
4. Set the Scene So You Can Let Go
Lay down a dark towel or period blanket, put on your favorite playlist, and dim the lights if that helps you relax. Keeping wipes nearby, and even staying half-dressed (bra, lingerie top, oversized tee) can help you feel sexy even on bloated days. When your mind is at ease, your body can fully receive.
5. Keep It Clit-Focused
Clitoral stimulation on your period is your best friend. Let your partner focus on slow, intentional tongue work—think circular motion around the clit, broad strokes across the vulva, and gentle suction. And if you want to take it to the next level without needing hands or pressure? Incorporate the Rose Toy during oral. It’s suction-based, waterproof, and perfectly designed to enhance clitoral pleasure even when you’re on your period. Let your partner kiss and tease you while Rose does the heavy lifting. It’s a game-changer for period play and your orgasms will thank you.
